Permanent Ink
I took one last breath and closed my eyes
And left the last few tears to vaporize
Eye lids as heavy as a ten-ton bridge
I couldn?t keep ?em open even if I tried

I spent the whole damn evening sitting here
Waiting for the words to disappear
I broke down crying ?bout half past ten
And I carried on straight through to daylight

Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But I?ve got guilty as hell still written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it?s in permanent ink and I think that it?s here to stay

Left with nothing but a desperate stare
As I turned and left you standing there
And all the voices buried in my head
Are screaming all the words I?ve tried to hide

Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But I?ve got guilty as hell still written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it?s in permanent ink and I think that it?s here to stay

And every night that I awoke
Dreaming of you standing alone,
Was a nightmare like a hurricane
As twisting fury screams my name

So baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But I?ve got guilty as hell still written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it?s in permanent ink and I think that it?s here to stay

Baby I tried again last night on my way
But I?ve got guilty as hell written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it?s in permanent ink and I think that it?s here to stay
